Voice of Sarah Lyons on IMDb

[UncannyGarlic]

Shatner turned out to be a very good comic actor in his older days. I wouldn't mind him playing some comic relief character.

Agreed on both points but his comic success (from what I've seen) seems to be him capitalizing on his unique method of acting and exagerating it to the point where most people find him funny, not just people who laugh at bad movies.

Besides, if you were after the Trekie crowd you'd hit up Leonard Nimoy.

Nimoy did a great job on Civ, though he wasn't voicing a character. He'd actually be a solid choice.

Nimoy makes a good narator but I've never heard him do any voice acting. He wouldn't be a choice I'd criticize until I'd heard him.

Ok, sorry, I have to step in here and defend William Shatners honour here. He's a great actor, Boston Legal proves he can act now ("DENNY CRANE!") and Judgement At Nuremburg (1961), where he acts opposite the likes of Burt Lancaster and some of the finest film actors to have ever graced the silver screen and holds his own (In some scenes, despite playing a relatively minor character he acts these much bigger names off the screen) proves he was a great actor then as well.

In Star Trek (1966-1969) he just didn't take it seriously- his 'unique way of acting' as some put it, and the so called "Shatner-speak" is in fact a thing called Iambic Pentameter- which is how Shakespeare wrote. He was simply drawing on his experience of doing Shakespeare in an inappropriate setting, and gets panned for it. He was unlucky that he became known for a part he hammed up to ridiculousness, and then the obsession kicked in (Which included having his commode be a replica of the Enterprise Captains Chair) but once he got past Star Trek and learned to laugh at himself, fantastic things like the aforementioned Denny Crane happened.

As for Liam Neeson being in Star Wars- he was only in the Phantom Menace, which doesn't count.

he is actually a great study of how people change when everybody around them tells them that they are the shit. everyday, for years. a girl friend of mine works at a german tv-station, and even the lowest scum of "actors" (daily soaps) gets this treatment on a daily basis. i always wondered what that does to a person, and the shat is an example for that. today, he IS the shit, in my opinion - as opposed to the HOFF, who still believes he brought down the berlin wall.

i think in boston legal he simply plays himself, and i love every minute of his screentime. it would be great if he got more on silver screen. he should do it, and fast - he does not look healthy at all. for my experience in diagnosing people from how they look , id say at least a very high blood pressure and some substantial liver damage; thats a bad combo

I split some random Bethesda hate. Please keep on topic, i.e. William Shatner.

Hmm, i really feel like this game will mean a lot for bethesdas future respect among gamers. Its starting to feel that many consumers are really now putting them under the microscope as oblivion was somewhat a mediocre game for a lot of their own fans and the novelty might wear out for those that found oblivion to be innovative (new to the genre - type of players)
So i dont think they can play bulletproof profit tactics or anything... and and i believe they must realize this that in long run it isnt good idea to water stuff down by every game.


Wasnt really a response directly to anyone if anybody wonders, just food for thought.

I think not only will BS screw this game up and make it a mockery of all things Fallout, but they will get away with that by making tons of money and setting a new fanbase.

It will be no surprise to me either if they have lied about a lot of things in the demos like they did with Oblivion's RAI, it's beyond me why people still trust them after that.

A lot of people seem to have short memories when it comes to getting screwed over by a gaming company.

Heh, now I'm expecting Wes Johnson to pop up on there pretty soon as the voice of every male Raider in the game. Just like in Oblivion...

 

[Oh Snap!]

I find that no matter what feature I read about being introduced to Fallout 3, regardless of how good it may actually be, I just have to imagine it being read out loud in Todd Howard's whiny voice and I immediately hate it.
